Episode Details

AI in court is no longer just a convenience—it’s a responsibility. Lawyers and self-represented litigants face serious consequences if they rely on AI tools that generate fake citations or false facts, risking disciplinary action, extra legal costs, and eroding public trust in the justice system. The High Court president warns that while AI can boost efficiency and access to justice, its “hallucinations” and privacy risks demand vigilance. Starting September 1, even witnesses must certify that AI didn’t write the core of their statements—only minor edits like spellcheck are allowed. A real-world case where fabricated case references were cited, though not deemed intentional, sparked this urgent push for accountability. Bottom line: AI is a tool, not a substitute for truth, diligence, and verification—or you’ll pay the price.
